Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Dec 15
Opaque ruby. Deeply pitched black and blue fruit aromas are complicated by suggestions of mocha, licorice, cigar box and floral oils. Lush and broad on the palate, offering intense cassis and boysenberry flavors braced by juicy acidity. This plush, generous wine shows unlikely vivacity and finishes very long and sweet, with gentle tannins lending shape.
